"Little sister?"
As he watched the graceful figure slowly approach from outside, Uzumaki Ise's eyes widened. Then, seeming to realize something, he immediately shouted sternly:
"No. It's not your turn to carry out this mission. If anything happens to you, I won't be able to answer to Father. If necessary, I'll go instead."
"That's right, Lady Mito. There's no need for you to take this risk."
Kurama Qiye also tried to persuade her from the side. Mito's status was simply too sensitive. If anything truly happened to her, Hashirama might not blame them given his nature, but it would certainly affect his state of mind.
As the pillar holding up the entire Land of Fire, if Hashirama's condition were affected by outside factors and caused his combat strength to decline, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Brother Ise, Clan Head Qiye, please don't worry yet."
A gentle smile rested on Mito's face, and her soft voice, as tender as a bellflower, gradually soothed the anxiety in Ise and Qiye's hearts.
"I have a way to return safely after completing the mission. I'm not some reckless person who would gamble with her own life. Besides... I haven't become a grandmother yet."
Mito's relaxed tone dispelled some of their doubts, but as her elder brother, Ise would not let his little sister risk her life based on a few words alone. He still insisted, "No, I'm still worried. Unless you tell me how you plan to leave safely. Only if there really isn't a problem can I let you go."
Mito knew that this was her brother's concern for her, so she did not hide anything and patiently explained, "Brother Ise, have you forgotten that Father already took me to that place?"
"That place!"
Ise was stunned for a moment before suddenly understanding.
